60 minutes had a story last month on how Russian oil tankers are getting around sanctions. Samir Madani founded TankerTrackers.com as a service to allow subscribers to follow vessels around the world. One spoofing example they showed was a Russian tanker that showed it was in the Sea of Japan when in reality it was in the sea of Cosmina (sp.?)
Yes, the Russians are jamming and spoofing GPS for mad, for sanctions evasion but also for air defense and possibly, as many Finns are convinced, just to screw with their adversaries.
